Opinion Outpost changes

Tweet

I am sitting here at the dentist, early for a cleaning appointment and waiting to be called in (I hate the dentist, so much! So nerve racking!). The last couple months I have been doing pretty good- for me- in Opinion Outpost, my main source of “online income” (truly just $20-$30 per month in Amazon gift cards). I like the site, I seem to qualify for the most surveys, and I sometimes get connected with product tests or communities or focus groups that pay a bit extra. The last couple of months I have noticed a few changes with their site. These changes never seem to be “for the better”. For one, now they seemed to have gotten rid of their “10,000$ Quarterly Drawing”. When you completed a survey, or got knocked out because you didn’t qualify, they would enter you into the sweepstakes. Now that seems to just have disappeared. Secondly, the last year or so, if you were one of their “valued users” they would give you a little extra when you completed each survey. For example, if I completed a survey worth 10 points ($1), they would pay me 11 points total ($1.10) and if it was worth 50 points ($5) they would pay me a total of $5.50. I know it’s not much, but those small extra amounts really add up! Either they got rid of that incentive system or maybe I am no longer a valued member. I don’t think many people here use Opinion Outpost, but if you do, have you noticed these changes? Or changes like that on any of your other earning sites?
